Gender makes things easier. People's mind wanders when the word "sex" comes up.

"Gender" is what sex you think/feel/believe you are according to the politically correct police.
"Sex" is what sex you are - male/female


And how many people put as their answer for Sex as "YES"? XD

In case your definition is based on biology, and only biology. We could also use social roles as a starting point, and then gender can have less to do with one's biological sex.

The first times I heard the word gender, I simply rejected it as a new piece of humbug.

Later, having studied some sociolinguistics as well as sexual minority questions, I have started using the word in certain contexts. I even appreciate having it in my vocabulary.

But do I need sex or gender in everyday conversations? Nope. I prefer questions with "man or woman", "female or male", and so on.

I don't have these sort of conversations o_O

I'd just ask : "hey! <insert name here>! Boy or girl?", and get slapped, punched, kicked and bitten with the metal teeth and the hurting and shoving, mmhey...

Roles?

Just because a woman starts acting more masculine does not mean she'll sprout a penis.

Just because a man starts acting more feminine, does not mean his penis will fall off.

I don't buy into the relativism of "gender"

Yeah, penises sprout off a woman like crazy there. People are born with that stuff, though, so HA.

Who really goes around saying 'yeah, his gender was male' or 'his sex was male' or whatever?

How should we classify hermaphrodites?

I agree, actually... even a relativist like i have my limits =P

but of course here is a strange hypothetical situation:

what if it was all a dream and you wake up to find the truth: that humans actually reproduce asexually (through visible mitosis )

it could be true.

to answer your question DE, hermaphrodite is their classification, I think o_O

and that latest question... it'd be a novel way of populating the race, I suppose, but eventually all the women would die out and then humanity would dwindle.

Who wants to live in a world without the other gender? I certainly don't.
